PreApproval

A pre-approval is a preliminary evaluation of a potential borrower by a lender to determine whether they can be given a pre-qualification offer. Most of the time the qualification docs are reviewed by the loan agent only.

Approval (Underwritten)

Underwritten approval involves a comprehensive assessment of your income, assets, and credit report by an underwriter. This significantly strengthens your offer and bargaining position with the seller, as they recognize your genuine intent to purchase their property. In essence, this approval provides a high level of assurance that you are indeed qualified to acquire their property.

Doc Checklist – Getting your documents ready in advance will expedite the process of getting PreApproval and Approval.
